I just realised that you might not know what I was talking about. This is the original advert for vegimite and is an icon to most Aussies (except for those that hate the stuff) we all know the words so practice and we will hold a sing a long later :)


Is Vegemite the Aussie version of peanut butter? I've never had it, and am curious? What does it taste like? What are the main ingredients? Fill an ignorant guy in some?

Think of salt, salt and more salt. Closest I can think of is soya sauce paste (It is a thick black spread). Best spread very lightly on hot thick toast dripping in melted butter. Breakfast, lunch and tea. :)

Wow, I had no clue at all. I honestly was thinking like peanut butter with honey, or the like - a spread of that nature. So without a clue, I would've slathered it on nice and thick and most likely kilt myself.

The funniest thing is to watch someone try it for the first time and deep down know you should warn them but the laugh is much better when you don't.

I was born in the UK so we were promite and marmite kids first. Vegimite can be a shock to the system if your a newbie to the land of Oz. ROFL

The BB clone went on sale in Australia yesterday and there was a quite a bit of chatter about it. Its frustrating for us is when there is no cheaper shipping option for people that just want to buy genuine accessories. Most of the folks I know are not interested but it was pointed out to me that you could buy the clone and use for spare parts for the same cost as just buying a genuine spare tank and brass screw + shipping. Not sure how often BB interact with this thread but is there any chance if just buying accessories of a cheaper shipping option to make it easier for the international folks to get the genuine spares. Thks.
It shouldn't cost all that much to have a tank or brass ring and such shipped, unless you need it tracked or insured. It should be less than $10 unless you have a bunch of parts. (I work for the PO)

That's what I was asking. When we buy through the site the only postal option is US$43 (AUS 55), that's ok (sort of) when you buy the actual bb but not when you just want accessories.

I just rechecked and when you sign in you get an untracked cheaper option. My apologies last time I looked there wasn't one. I must of had an old woman moment. That's much better.

I can understand that. If I were ordering a BB internationally, I'd want it tracked and insured. :)

Oh I'm totally Aussie down with that! I KNOW that's what I'd be doing! :D

I believe the Billet Bridge will only work with the original aspire coils because of size.

Right. NAutilus coild are a whole different animal.

I have the Billet Bridge and aspires, but haven;t tried yet. Tried cartos and it was about as good as a carto vape can be. Then I busted out my SABOT and an aro head and this is pretty damn nice! I am rockin' the beejeebus out of my RPG

If you build coils a 2mm coil wrapped between 2.5 to 3ohms then feed cotton or rayon through the coil works amazing. I'm personally using rayon but there are no flavor wicks needed with that build.
